Court rejects plea to stay rule for non-installation of towers

JAIPUR: A division bench of Rajasthan High Court on Monday rejected the plea of associations of CDMA and GSM mobile operator unions to stay the rules framed by the state government wherein a provision has been made for non-installation of mobile towers near schools, playgrounds, hospitals and jails.

The order was passed by Chief Justice Arun Mishra and Justice N K Jain while dismissing two separate stay applications filed by COAI and AUSPI, the two mobile service provider company associations of CDMA and GSM technology. The bench said that since the matter is being finally heard there is no objective in staying the rules which have been challenged.
